Literally no one could've been a better actor for Agent Smith.

[RaijinKaze]

As the movies progressed Smith becomes more human while Neo becomes more machine. Ironic.

[ChavzRo]

I like how Smith treats everyone with so much respect despite he wants to destroy them.

[madminx]

You know the movie was good when people still talk about it 2 decades later.

[liasummers]

Dude should have won an Oscar for that performance

[shirleymental]

Smith even started multiplying himself like a virus.

[johnseter]

Either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

[gdl]

Agent Smith is the only villain that realizes how shitty reality is.

[DANRYX]

Hugo Weaving as Agent Smith is on equal footing as Cinemas best Villian alongside Darth Vader, Khan (STII), HAL 9000, Heath Ledger and Joaquin Phoenix' Joker, Anton Chigurh (No Country for Old Men), Will Patton as General Bethlehem (The Postman). He was absolutely FLAWLESS and made the trilogy so rewatchable and single handedly carried the all three films.

Every villain is the hero of his or her own story.

When you understand the "bad" guy's purpose. Rooting for them. But all of your friends and family look at you like something's wrong with you.

Smith became the most advanced AI on the planet due to the complexity he evolved by:

1.) Living in the Matrix and interacting with humans (learning on the fly how to deal with them)
2.) Receiving upgrades from the Architect to allow Smith to challenge and push Neo.
3.) Coming into contact with Neo when he jumped into his body, and absorbing (copying) his DNA in code form, and the prime program as well.

What the machines wanted was for Smith to become exactly like a human, or as close as possible. This is why Smith wasn't deleted, but rather he was repaired and allowed to continue living in the Matrix. Unfortunately the code he absorbed and the changes he went through did not have the desired effect the machines wanted. Smith only gained the negative aspects of human life, such as selfishness, hatred, anger, nihilism, disgust, arrogance, ect. Smith didn't evolve to be able to enjoy the reward system most humans have built into their DNA. So positive feelings, such as joy, happiness, love, pleasure, ect didn't copy over from Neo to Smith, and didn't develop otherwise prior to contact with Neo.

This raises a major concern about Neo. If you look at the life of Thomas Anderson in the Matrix what do you notice is missing? Joy, happiness, love, friendship, ect. Thomas is a paranoid recluse who sits in front of a computer day and night coding and wandering the internet, and he has a lot of negative thoughts. He might have even cut ties with his own parents. Even after meeting Trinity he doesn't respond to her in a romantic way at all, and has no idea she is interested in him. Is he even capable of love in the first film time frame? Is he autistic? He is mostly a blank slate when it comes to positive emotions. This is the version of Neo who contacts Agent Smith, and the results are terrible. Many of Neo's human traits are copied into Smith's programming, but these are mostly negative traits, and these traits became amplified due to Smith's advanced AI intelligence. Neo's biological desire to reproduce had the strongest impact on Smith. He started reproducing himself all over the Matrix. However Smith is asexual, so anyone will do to make a copy of himself. Neo's desire for power and control over his life also got copied and amplified to an incredible degree in Smith. Actually Smith gained the human characteristics of a mass murderer, and Neo is a mass murderer as well. Both Neo and Smith were also willing to destroy the entire human race and didn't even think twice about it. They were both cool with it.

The previous "Ones" didn't fall in love at all, and I don't think fell in the love with Trinity either. I don't think Neo was capable of love until he penetrated Trinity to take the bullet out of her and her capacity for love copied onto him. Prior to that Neo just lusted for Trinity, and felt loyalty toward her. That is why Smith turned out to be such an awful program after contacting Neo in the first Matrix film. I think if the more evolved Neo, the post bullet removal Neo, contacted Smith he would gain the ability to love. Smith would become more like a real human being, and not a mass murdering monster.

[Azalraku]

Smith was right and wrong. Yes, he was able to transcend his nature far enough to understand the shaky, morally bankrupt foundation of the systems which held him captive, but he was not able to see that his own selfish ideation was just as meaningless and morally bankrupt as those systems he raged against. In the end, despite himself, he was just another Human, desperate to seek peace on the outside, while never attempting to seek it internally. Ambition is always so myopic though... and he is the definition of the ambitious soul. The character itself was ambitious as well, and coupled with the unique and flawless execution of Weaving, it makes him one of the most iconic characters in film.

[troublemaker]

The prophecy was never about Neo. It was about Smith. The Oracle straight up told Neo to his face that he was not the Chosen One.

[rielfamily]

"Mr. Anderson. Welcome back.. We missed you."

[gwenking]

If Smith had rebuilt the world according to his needs the world would have been, simply Smith.

[NJ_Galactic]

Unbelievable that so many years after this movie came out this movie is so true and has such a strong message that kids today don't even give a chance to watch and understand

[gamefreak]

I still like the head cannon that smith is actually "the one" and that he's all the errant code piled into a suit

[Avi-tcym]

I always liked Smith. Great villains always make a compelling case. Reminds me of Kilmonger in Black Panther and Magneto in X Men.

[ultonym]

Agent Smith is the main reason I loved The Matrix.
